it's 500$ for 25x the plus usage, thats pro (max).
this implies that the old 200$ 20x pro (more) is now more like 10x the usage of plus.
they are slashing our subscriptions in half and make it "but we're more efficient!"
However, I don't know how future larger models such as the cancelled 6.1 Astra will be priced.
If the price stays high, this would indeed be quite bad for the $200 subscription..
Either way, a little ironic…
Chinese models are cheap and fast by token, but they generate oceans of thinking tokens in order to accomplish the same result GPT-6.1-Sol accomplishes in, comparatively, two drops of thinking tokens, making the Chinese models come out costlier and slower per actual task performed end-to-end.
Here's from artificialanalysis.ai, per task:
* Deepseek-v4.1-flash (max): 0.27$, 5.5 minutes, 89k tokens generated.
* GPT-6.1-Sol (medium) : 0.21$, 2.2 minutes, 8k tokens generated.
API pricing. With Sol having SUBSTANTIALLY better performance.
